Morehouse Scientific Literacy Center – Making Scientific Literacy a Priority Among College Freshman STEM Majors and HS Students Interested in STEM
Eight of the 10 largest STEM occupations are related to computers and information technology.
Only 17% of the adult population is scientifically literate.
STEM Organizations
As a STEM student or professional, there are many benefits of being involved in STEM professional organizations.
Why Scientific Literacy?
Our society has an ever-increasing dependency on technology and the scientific knowledge that makes it possible.
STEM Careers
The Scientific Literacy Center has a plethora of STEM careers and organizations that benefit undergraduate minorities for the benefit of knowledge enhancement in STEM career fields.
About Us
In a study conducted by the Scientific Literacy Center on freshmen who declared science majors, half of these students scored 65% or lower on a scientific literacy test. Students with a low scientific literacy score may not possess adequate STEM competencies required to be successful in a science major.
The goal of the Center is to be a “one-stop-shop” for scientific literacy-related information for: all freshmen who are majoring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics high school students who are interested in majoring in STEM; and also college faculty members, high school teachers and counselors.
